Summary: QC-patch gives fragtable like in Doom2

Keywords: deathmatch fragtable teamplay stats

I want to invite you to DDM. It is a Quake-C-patch (progs.dat) that gives you

detailed information about DeathMatch games in table-form.

If you miss in Quake the summary for each level, as it is offered by games

like Doom 2, Descent 2 or Duke Nukem 3D, like I missed it, then give DDM a

try.

In this newest version 1.1cw there have been only some design changes (I hope

more useful), it should work as good as always. Go and try.

The legend has been moved from the table to the accompanying .txt-file, so

rtfm carefully.

For Dos-users I have now stored the .txt-file in the archiv in Dos-format

(CR/LF) so you can read it with your favorite Dos-editor. I'm sorry for the

inconveniece with the last versions. ;)

Since modifications through QC can't do everything, DDM does not replace the

table invoked with the console-command "+showscores". Instead, it prints its

own table on every player's console.

Note that DDM does not need any external helper programs to analyze the

console debug-logfile, the tables are created and displayed while staying in

Quake. Of course you can still preserve the tables via logfiles, but the

tables need not to be prepared by piping the log through any filter, just cut

out the tables from the log.

For teamplayers you get an extra line to show how well your teams have done.

In the table you can see how well you did for your team (flattening teammates

;-)

You may find DDM at:

ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/quake/quakec/stats/fragtabl.zip,

or any other dir below quakec, where it may have moved.
